BATB Event #16 (Day 2): Michael Tait Triples Up, As One Time Chip Leader Ben Robinson Eliminated

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #16 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)

Level 23 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 367
Players Remaining: 24

Michael Tait (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) had nothing to sweat after making a set on the turn, and ended up making quads for the full triple-up.

At Table 3, Max Young opened from early position, with a short-stacked Michael Tait making the call (on the button), along with Ben Robinson (from the big blind).  The dealer would fan out a flop of J 7 6♣, with Robinson immediately open-shoving for 266,000.  Young asked for an exact count, and then verbalized a call, with Tait also calling (for less):

Robinson: 3♣ 7♣
Young: Q♠ J♣
Tait: A♠ A♣

Turn: A 
River: A

Robinson, who led the field just over an hour ago, would be eliminated in 25th place ($815).  Michael Tait ended up more than tripling up to 300,000, while Max Young won a side pot to chip up to 510,000.

Max Young - 510,000 (25bb)
Michael Tait - 300,000 (15bb)
